Known Issues

There are a number of known issues and changes required to the official OpenAPI spec to generate useful client libraries.

These are all codified in update-spec.py which can be used to obtain the latest OpenAPI Specification from a running Sonatype IQ Server, apply the required modifications and transform from JSON to YAML - outputting the result to spec/openapi.yml.

The below subsections document these changes and limitations - but you should rely on update-spec.py primarily.

APIs Excluded from Generation

The following API endpoints are removed from the schema prior to generation of the API Client libraries.

API Endpoint Method Reason
/api/v2/licenseLegalMetadata/customMultiApplication/report POST Relies on a schema of undefined object - generated code is invalid in Typescript.
/api/v2/product/license POST Relies on a schema of undefined object - generated code is invalid in Typescript.
/api/v2/product/license DELETE Relies on a schema of undefined object - generated code is invalid in Typescript.
/api/v2/config/saml PUT Relies on a schema of undefined object - generated code is invalid in Typescript.

Additional Changes to OpenAPI Schema prior to Generation

See update-spec.py for all changes.

Getting the latest OpenAPI Schema

Get it from your Sonatype IQ Server at /api/v2/endpoints/public.

Generation of API Clients

docker run --rm -v "$(PWD):/local" openapitools/openapi-generator-cli batch --clean /local/typescript.yaml

docker run --rm -v "$(PWD):/local" openapitools/openapi-generator-cli generate -i /local/spec/openapi.yaml -g typescript-fetch -o /local/out/test -c /local/openapi-config.yaml -v > out.log

Diagnosing Responses that are not Schema Compliant

In the rare event that Sonatype IQ Server provides a response that does not validate against the schema (our patched schema to be clear), things can be silent - you just never get a response in your code.

Through the use of Postman and opeapi-request-response-validation project by Beppe Catanese, we can quickly and accurately see where response validation failures occur.

  1. Configure the request for which you are not getting a response in Postman exactly as it was sent
  2. To that request (you can do this in a Collection if you are using Collections too), add a Test with the code:
     // define object
     openapiRequestResponseValidation = {
     // define function
     validate: function(pm) {
    
         const postRequest = {
             url: 'http://localhost:8080/validate',
             method: 'POST',
             header: {'Content-Type': 'application/json'},
             body: {
             mode: 'raw',
             raw: JSON.stringify({ 
                 method: pm.request.method, 
                 path: pm.request.url.getPath(),
                 headers: pm.request.headers,
                 requestAsJson: (pm.request.body != "") ? pm.request.body.raw : null,
                 responseAsJson: pm.response.text(),
                 statusCode: pm.response.code
                 })
             }
         };
    
         pm.sendRequest(postRequest, (error, response) => {
             if(error != undefined) {
                 pm.expect.fail('Unexpected error ' + error);
             } else {
                 var data = response.json();
    
                 if(data.valid == false) {
                     console.log(data.errors);
                 }
    
                 pm.test("OpenAPI validation", () => {
                     pm.expect(data.valid, "Invalid request/response (check Console)").to.equal(true);
                 });
    
             }
         });  
       }
     };
    
     // invoke function
     openapiRequestResponseValidation.validate(pm);
    
  3. Start the openapi-request-response-validation Container locally:
    docker run -p 8080:8080 -v ./spec:/openapi -it --rm gcatanese/openapi-request-response-validation
    
  4. Execute the request in Postman - if the test does not show as passed then you can get details of the failure from two places:
    1. The Postman console
    2. The logs from the running Container

Releasing

We use semantic-release to generate releases from commits to the main branch.

We aim to keep the MINOR version component in-line with the version of Nexus IQ Server for which the API Client is generated - i.e. 1.156.x are all releases generated for the API specification as shipped with Sonatype IQ Server version 156.

For example, to perform a "patch" release, add a commit to main with a comment like below. The fix: prefix matters.

fix: the problem resolved goes here

The Fine Print

Remember:

It is worth noting that this is NOT SUPPORTED by Sonatype, and is a contribution of ours to the open source community (read: you!)

  • Use this contribution at the risk tolerance that you have
  • Do NOT file Sonatype support tickets related to nexus-iq-api-client
  • DO file issues here on GitHub, so that the community can pitch in

Phew, that was easier than I thought. Last but not least of all - have fun!
